The bill establishes a new section, 1004.0983, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates that state universities and Florida College System institutions develop and implement comprehensive safety policies and procedures. These policies must address prevention, reporting, and response protocols for acts of violence and credible threats. Key requirements include designating a responsible individual for coordinating responses, establishing clear reporting protocols, outlining protective measures for affected individuals, providing timely updates on incidents, and ensuring that the policies are accessible on institutional websites.

Additionally, the bill requires these institutions to conduct annual reviews and updates of their safety policies to align with best practices in threat assessment and campus security. The Board of Governors and the State Board of Education are authorized to create regulations and rules to facilitate the administration of these new safety measures. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
